To compile the list of the best schools in the nation at which to party down, The Daily Beast limited the pool of colleges to those that were considered “best-fit” for students interested in attending a “big-time party school” according to CollegeView. From there, they considered the number of on-campus arrests and per-student disciplinary actions for drugs and alcohol that occurred in 2010, according to the U.S. Department of Education. Bonus points were given to campuses that landed on Princeton Review’s most recent rating of the top party schools and top beer-drinking campuses.
